Assembled volumes
The study investigates the potential for creating diverse spatial configurations by integrating vulcanized fiber with wood sticks, focusing on the transformative properties of vulcanized fiber as it dries. It utilizes a design and construction technique that initially involves generating diverse volumetric bodies by folding flat sheets of vulcanized fiber in their wet state. These sheets are then strategically fixed at certain points to ensure that their volumetric positioning is maintained throughout the drying process. A key methodological approach adopted here is the use of a tetrahedron folding principle aimed at producing enclosed volumes. After undergoing the drying process, these volumes acquire a definitive shape and geometry. These formal results are then analyzed to identify viable tangential axes where wooden sticks can be affixed, ensuring at least two points of contact. This method facilitates the creation of a structurally solid framework offering various spatial arrangements.
